Makes sense.

It would be nice if it said something to that effect in LINT. It does
show tty (not net) in LINT, but there's no comment anywhere as to why
it shows that and nothing to indicate that looking at that line would
reveal anything about that. Would I use send_pr to submit diffs for
the LINT file to that effect?
